How to play the games today

Magnetic Scrolls disappeared in the early 90's and the games haven't been
available for many years. To obtain an original game package you have to try your luck with classic
games specialists like YOIS or online auctions like Ebay.
Most probably the easiest way to run the old games on modern machines and operating systems is using
an interpreter or an emulator.

Interpreter

Niclas Karlsson has developed a portable interpreter for Magnetic Scrolls games - MAGNETIC. The
original Magnetic has been ported to all major systems and got enhanced several times during the last
years. The newer versions of Magnetic even support the Magnetic Windows games and some of their
special features like animated graphics and hints. Start your magic journey here:

Emulators

If you still own copies of the games and you are in a real nostalgic mood, you should take a look at
the various emulators. There are numerous packages available for emulating old systems. Below you will
find short guides on setting up selected packages to run the original Magnetic Scrolls games. A
coverage of all available options is beyond the scope of these pages, but the selected packages are
mostly available for multiple platforms and the main steps should be similiar on all setups. Normally,
the emulators require image files of the original floppy disks and supplemental files for the emulator
like system roms. Please do not ask me to send any of those files. If system roms are available freely
or can be obtained legally, directions are given in the guide. The guides only cover the minimal steps
required to get the Magnetic Scrolls games running. To unleash the full power of the various
emulators, there is a lot more to do, but that is a different story...
